Glenfiddich 18 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Oct,22 in Tasting , Glenfiddich

“A rather good whisky with a great taste. Love the honey and floral notes of this Glenfiddich.”

Our master craftsmen have created a complex, mellow single malt Scotch whisky from years of patient maturation in casks of the finest Oloroso sherry and American bourbon. It is secreted away in our traditional warehouse, where the cool, thick stone walls and low ceilings mature the whisky to perfection. Years later what emerges is a Glenfiddich 18 Year Old with an elegant nose, faintly sweet, scented with apple and wood. It is robust and full-bodied, yet remarkably soft, rounded and long lasting.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): strong. floral, honey, citrus, liquorice, dates, dark chocolate.

Palate (91): smooth, oily, powerful. peaches, floral, wood, spices, honey, vanilla, citrus, a little espresso.

Finish (89): long. floral, wood, a little pears.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenfiddich 18 year with 90 points over 100.
